He replied "I want two that has been mashed and no count.'1 This was worse still, on the boys and they commenced to revolve in their minds when was the happy moment they succeeded in making a mash on the hearts of some fair maidens, as the boy must have had reference to such soft business. At last the youth stepped up to one of the printers of an elevated stature and said ''this is the kind of printers I want,'' at the same time picking up some type from a case. At this junction the printers, whose countenances had assumed a steel cast, were illuminated with smiles and took great pleasure in answering the numerous questions that the youth asked duiug his few minutes stay in the office.
